Smatch complains that we check cap the upper bound of "index" but don't
check for negatives.  It's a false positive because "index" is never
negative.  But it's also simple enough to make it unsigned which makes
the code easier to audit.

I would have used 'unsigned', just to annoy checkpatch. But I guess
this is ok too :)
